The document discusses the concept of sovereign data as a common good for public decision-making, emphasizing its role in areas like defense and urban planning. It highlights the need for authoritative data and a legal framework for open data, ensuring adaptability and community governance. The conclusion points out the interdependence of various actors in the ecosystem, and the importance of citizens understanding and controlling data processes.

A common good ?

Sovereign data
●
Data used directly for public decision :
– Defence, security, urban planning, flood, pollution...;
●
Description of geography is the core data (see INSPIRE’s annex I)
– A map without it has no sense.
●
Two consequences :
– Independant from a third party ;
– Mastered data qualification.
●
Only one licence usable : open licence.

A bit confused world
From INSPIRE to GAFA
●
Authoritative data,
●
National mapping agencies,
●
Eurogeographics,
●
Thematic crowdsourcing (Biodiversity...)
●
Openstreemap,
●
Community sourcing (drivers, Emergency services...)
●
Private data of public interest (environmental studies, traffic
information...)
●
Global (but US) companies

Two legs to walk on
●
INSPIRE for machine-to-machine process
●
An Open data legal framework :
– In France, Open Data is by default for public authorities ;
– Many are worrying about captation by GAFAs ;
– A common good is seen as a solution.

A digital common good ?
●
INSPIRE is the basic infrastructure for digital services !
●
Management of ressource through rules
=> a share-alike licence (OdbL, CC-BY-SA 4.0 ?)
●
Governance : to be adaptable to new conditions and needs
– The basis for gouvernance is the people (eg. the community )
– Public and transparent
●
Sanction : a licence, you defend it or drop it
●
Never heard of a trial about share-alike licence infringment

Conclusion
●
We are in an ecosystem ;
●
Biggers need smallers (to create new services...)
●
Citizens are on both sides : impacted by public decision and part of
data communities
●
They deserve to understand the process and to be able to control it
– Ex. : algorithms for decision making
●
Sovereign data is not against common good, but could feed it.
